multipass doesn't support core images about multipass HOT 4 CLOSED

We support images published on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ - once core images show up there, multipass will Just Work™ with them.

With #249 now merged (and be in edge shortly), you can download core, extract it, and then do something like:

multipass launch --image file://path/to/ubuntu-core-16-amd64.img

We plan on also including a feature in Multipass where it will automatically extract .xz images to avoid the manual step. See #252.

Going to close this now since we have a way to run Core now.

For completeness sake, this is how I got Core running in a Multipass instance:

$ wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/16/stable/current/ubuntu-core-16-amd64.img.xz
$ xz --decompress ubuntu-core-16-amd64.img.xz
$ qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 ubuntu-core-16-amd64.img ubuntu-core-16-amd64.qcow2
$ multipass launch --image file:://ubuntu-core-16-amd64.qcow2

from multipass.

Also, mount will not work since we can't install sshfs in the Core instance.
